Chapter 742 The Road Of Light

Tap.

Wain touched the black and white orb as the soul turned into a stream of energy, directing it toward Wain. However, the energy did not go to his soul, as Wain had already reached his limit and could no longer absorb energy, so someone else took over the task.

'Fine, that's what was needed.' Code of Light and Darkness uttered with a slight smile on his face while absorbing the energy flows.

'Huh, now it's your turn to interfere with the course of history, isn't it?' Blind Sorcerer said with a smirk while rubbing his chin in a thoughtful manner.

'Yeah... This girl has great abilities, but she has no idea what game she's in. It's not really her sphere of influence.' Code of Light and Darkness smiled as he waved his hand.

'Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Wain's energy intensified several times as white strands of energy burst from his body, causing the air to shiver.

"Hmmm? What's going on?" Wain muttered with a confused look as he had no control over it.

'',

'Don't worry. I'm just helping you. The sooner you get to Death Shore, the better for all of us.' Code of Light and Darkness said in a confident voice as his eyes shone brightly, and his black mantle soared into the air just as his long white hair did.

'Just follow his will, as you must work together to make this work.' Blind Sorcerer said with folded hands together.

'

Wain glanced at the threads, nodded with a meaningful look, and took a few steps forward.

"Hey! Wain, are you all right?" Marlis said with a worried expression as she ran up to him.

"Yeah, the soul of Third Rank Dimension Guard turned out to be more useful than I thought." Wain muttered with a slight nod while looking ahead.

"Hmm? What are you talking about?" Marlis asked in confusion as she tilted her head, then she sighed and said, "Okay, that's not important right now. We need to get out of here since this area has lost its Soul Pearls and will soon be destroyed. I can find a new gate, I just need a few minutes."

"That won't be necessary." Wain shook his head before extending his arm, "I found another way, that will surprise even an expert like you."

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The white threads headed forward and plunged into space, gradually tearing it apart. At the same time, some of the threads created a frame that looked very much like a gateway to some area of Purgatory.

"What is this...?" Marlis muttered while in disbelief, "I've never seen such a strange gate..."

"It's not a gate." Wain said in a confident voice, "It's a path, straight to Death Shore."

"What?! What the hell are you talking about?! You have to go through dozens of different Purgatory Zones to get to Death Shore! Each one must be more dangerous than the last, only in this way can you go down deep enough!" Marlis exclaimed with an excited expression while waving her hands like a scientist that doesn't want to believe in a miracle.

"Well, that's exactly what I'm going to do, but instead of running from one space to another, I've just made a straight path." Wain said with a serious look as he waved his hand.

Whoooooooosh.

The threads shone brightly as the portal in the form of a massive white gate was ready. Ahead was only the vast darkness of open space as well as a long staircase of light that occasionally turned and changed direction.

"That's..." Marlis muttered with wide eyes.

"The Road of Light, I think that's an appropriate name." Wain uttered in a calm voice before stepping forward.

He stopped in front of the entrance, turned, and asked, "You can go back to the bar if you want, I'll probably make it to Death Shore without your help, but I wouldn't mind if you followed me. I might need your support."

Marlis was confused as she couldn't believe what she was hearing, but it only took her a few seconds to come to her senses.

"Hey, you may be different from the others, but you shouldn't get cocky!" Marlis exclaimed as pillars of green flame appeared beside her, malting the stone and vaporizing the water in the nearby rivers, "I have experience and knowledge, also I am in the Fifth Chronicle, so do not forget that I am the reason you are here! Of course, I will lead you to Death Shore, whatever abilities you may have gained along the way!"

"Hah, great answer." Wain grinned as he entered the passage with a confident look while exuding a majestic aura, "Then, let's move on. It'll be a shortcut, but we'll be visible to all the Dimension Guards that are waiting for us to show up."

"Well, now you're strong enough to fight them, so I won't have to worry about your safety or hold back!" Marlis said with an enthusiastic smile on her face as she clenched her fist.

Wain just nodded and started down the stairs. Marlis took one last look around before following him.

The staircase of light seemed endless, but it only took them a few minutes to reach another gate, whose hiding darkness had already been dispelled by the bright light of the stairs.

This gate was covered in a dense layer of hot magma as well as red fire that burned even in a place like open space.

"This is our first point. Hopefully, there won't be Soul Pearls here this time as Dimension Guards can become strong surprisingly quickly... if they have an energy of course." Wain uttered as he touched the gate.

"Hah, you're the last one who should say anything about the power growth rate, but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. There were three Soul Pearls in the last zone, so there has to be at least four, or an equal amount of pure energy, or we'll never make it to Death Shore." Marlis said with a confident smile while holding her hands on sides.

"Hmm... In that case, we'll take the Pearls for ourselves." Wain shrugged as he opened the gate.
